Génesis 34

1E saiu Diná a filha de Lia, a qual esta havia dado a Jacó, para ver as mulheres nativas. 2E viu-a Siquém, filho de Hamor heveu, príncipe daquela terra, e tomou-a, e deitou-se com ela, e a desonrou. 3Mas sua alma se apegou a Diná a filha de Lia, e apaixonou-se pela moça, e falou ao coração da jovem. 4E falou Siquém a Hamor seu pai, dizendo: Toma-me por mulher esta moça. 5E ouviu Jacó que havia Siquém violado a Diná sua filha: e estando seus filhos com seu gado no campo, Jacó ficou em silêncio até que eles viessem. 6E dirigiu-se Hamor pai de Siquém a Jacó, para falar com ele. 7E os filhos de Jacó vieram do campo quando o souberam; e se entristeceram os homens, e se irritaram muito, porque fez depravação em Israel por ter se deitado com a filha de Jacó, o que não se devia haver feito. 8E Hamor falou com eles, dizendo: A alma de meu filho Siquém se apegou à vossa filha; rogo-vos que a deis por mulher. 9E aparentai-vos conosco; dai-nos vossas filhas, e tomai vós as nossas. 10E habitai conosco; porque a terra estará diante de vós; morai e negociai nela, e tomai nela possessão. 11Siquém também disse a seu pai e a seus irmãos: Ache eu favor em vossos olhos, e darei o que me disserdes. 12Aumentai muito a exigência de meu dote e presentes, que eu darei quanto me disserdes, e dá-me a moça por mulher. 13E responderam os filhos de Jacó a Siquém e a Hamor seu pai com engano; e falaram, porquanto havia violado a sua irmã Diná. 14E disseram-lhes: Não podemos fazer isto de dar nossa irmã a homem que tem prepúcio; porque entre nós é abominação. 15Mas com esta condição vos consentiremos: se haveis de ser como nós, que se circuncide entre vós todo homem; 16Então vos daremos nossas filhas, e tomaremos nós as vossas; e habitaremos convosco, e seremos um povo. 17Mas se não nos prestardes ouvido para vos circuncidar, tomaremos nossa filha, e nos iremos. 18E pareceram bem seus palavras a Hamor e a Siquém, filho de Hamor. 19E não tardou o jovem fazer aquilo, porque a filha de Jacó lhe havia agradado: e ele era o mais honrado de toda a casa de seu pai. 20Então Hamor e Siquém seu filho vieram à porta de sua cidade, e falaram aos homens de sua cidade, dizendo: 21Estes homens são pacíficos conosco, e habitarão no país, e comercializarão nele; pois eis que a terra é bastante ampla para eles; nós tomaremos suas filhas por mulheres, e lhes daremos as nossas. 22Mas com esta condição nos estes homens consentirão em habitar conosco, para que sejamos um povo: se se circuncidar em nós todo homem, assim como eles são circuncidados. 23Seus gados, e sua riqueza e todos seus animais, serão nossas; somente concordemos com eles, e habitarão conosco. 24E obedeceram a Hamor e a Siquém seu filho todos os que saíam pela porta da cidade, e circuncidaram a todo homem, dentre os que saíam pela porta de sua cidade. 25E sucedeu que ao terceiro dia, quando sentiam eles a maior dor, os dois filhos de Jacó, Simeão e Levi, irmãos de Diná, tomaram cada um sua espada, e vieram contra a cidade animosamente, e mataram a todo homem. 26E a Hamor e a seu filho Siquém mataram a fio de espada; e tomaram a Diná de casa de Siquém, e saíram. 27E os filhos de Jacó vieram aos mortos e saquearam a cidade; porquanto haviam violado à sua irmã. 28Tomaram suas ovelhas e vacas e seus asnos, e o que havia na cidade e no campo, 29E todos os seus pertences; se levaram cativos a todos as suas crianças e suas mulheres, e roubaram tudo o que havia nas casas. 30Então disse Jacó a Simeão e a Levi: Vós me perturbastes em fazer-me detestável aos moradores desta terra, os cananeus e os ferezeus; e tendo eu poucos homens, se juntarão contra mim, e me ferirão, e serei destruído eu e minha casa. 31E eles responderam Havia ele de tratar à nossa irmã como à uma prostituta?

1Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. 2Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her. He took her, lay with her, and humbled her. 3His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady. 4Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, “Get me this young lady as a wife.” 5Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; and his sons were with his livestock in the field. Jacob held his peace until they came. 6Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to talk with him. 7The sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it. The men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had done folly in Israel in lying with Jacob’s daughter; a thing ought not to be done. 8Hamor talked with them, saying, “The soul of my son, Shechem, longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife. 9Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves. 10You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it.” 11Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you will tell me I will give. 12Ask me a great amount for a dowry, and I will give whatever you ask of me, but give me the young lady as a wife.” 13The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit, and spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister, 14and said to them, “We can’t do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us. 15Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised; 16then will we give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people. 17But if you will not listen to us, to be circumcised, then we will take our sister, and we will be gone.” 18Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son. 19The young man didn’t wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter, and he was honored above all the house of his father. 20Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of their city, saying, 21“These men are peaceful with us. Therefore let them live in the land and trade in it. For behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters. 22Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people, if every male among us is circumcised, as they are circumcised. 23Won’t their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let us give our consent to them, and they will dwell with us.” 24All who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor, and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city. 25On the third day, when they were sore, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword, came upon the unsuspecting city, and killed all the males. 26They killed Hamor and Shechem, his son, with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away. 27Jacob’s sons came on the dead, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister. 28They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which was in the city, that which was in the field, 29and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in the house. 30Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and strike me, and I will be destroyed, I and my house.” 31They said, “Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?”

1En Dina, de dochter van Lea, die zij Jakob gebaard had, ging uit, om de dochteren van dat land te bezien. 2Sichem nu, de zoon van Hemor den Heviet, den landvorst, zag haar, en hij nam ze, en lag bij haar, en verkrachtte ze. 3En zijn ziel kleefde aan Dina, Jakobs dochter; en hij had de jonge dochter lief, en sprak naar het hart van de jonge dochter. 4Sichem sprak ook tot zijn vader Hemor, zeggende: Neem mij deze dochter tot een vrouw. 5Toen Jakob hoorde, dat hij zijn dochter Dina verontreinigd had, zo waren zijn zonen met het vee in het veld; en Jakob zweeg, totdat zij kwamen. 6En Hemor, de vader van Sichem, ging uit tot Jakob, om met hem te spreken. 7En de zonen van Jakob kwamen van het veld, als zij dit hoorden; en het smartte deze mannen, en zij ontstaken zeer, omdat hij dwaasheid in Israel gedaan had, Jakobs dochter beslapende, hetwelk alzo niet zoude gedaan worden. 8Toen sprak Hemor met hen, zeggende: Mijns zoons Sichems ziel is verliefd op ulieder dochter; geeft hem haar toch tot een vrouw. 9En verzwagert u met ons; geeft ons uw dochteren; en neemt voor u onze dochteren; 10En woont met ons; en het land zal voor uw aangezicht zijn; woont, en handelt daarin, en stelt u tot bezitters daarin. 11En Sichem zeide tot haar vader, en tot haar broederen: Laat mij genade vinden in uw ogen; en wat gij tot mij zeggen zult, zal ik geven. 12Vergroot zeer over mij den bruidschat en het geschenk; en ik zal geven, gelijk als gij tot mij zult zeggen; geef mij slechts de jonge dochter tot een vrouw. 13Toen antwoordden Jakobs zonen aan Sichem en Hemor, zijn vader, bedriegelijk, en spraken (overmits dat hij Dina, hun zuster, verontreinigd had); 14En zij zeiden tot hen: Wij zullen deze zaak niet kunnen doen, dat wij onze zuster aan een man geven zouden, die de voorhuid heeft; want dat ware ons een schande. 15Doch hierin zullen wij u ter wille zijn, zo gij wordt gelijk als wij, dat onder u besneden worde al wat mannelijk is. 16Dan zullen wij u onze dochteren geven, en uw dochteren zullen wij ons nemen, en wij zullen met u wonen, en wij zullen tot een volk zijn. 17Maar zo gij naar ons niet zult horen, om besneden te worden, zo zullen wij onze dochteren nemen, en wegtrekken. 18En hun woorden waren goed in de ogen van Hemor, en in de ogen van Sichem, Hemors zoon. 19En de jongeling vertoogde niet, deze zaak te doen; want hij had lust in Jakobs dochter; en hij was geeerd boven al zijns vaders huis. 20Zo kwam Hemor en Sichem, zijn zoon, tot hunner stadspoort; en zij spraken tot de mannen hunner stad, zeggende: 21Deze mannen zijn vreedzaam met ons; daarom laat hen in dit land wonen, en daarin handelen, en het land (ziet het is wijd van begrip) voor hun aangezicht zijn; wij zullen ons hun dochteren tot vrouwen nemen, en wij zullen onze dochteren aan hen geven. 22Doch hierin zullen deze mannen ons ter wille zijn, dat zij met ons wonen, om tot een volk te zijn; als al wat mannelijk is onder ons besneden wordt, gelijk als zij besneden zijn. 23Hun vee, en hun bezitting, en al hun beesten, zullen die niet onze zijn? Alleen laat ons hun te wille zijn, en zij zullen met ons wonen. 24En zij hoorden naar Hemor, en naar Sichem, zijn zoon, allen, die ter zijner stadspoort uitgingen; en zij werden besneden, al wat mannelijk was, allen, die ter zijner stadspoort uitgingen. 25En het geschiedde ten derden dage, toen zij in de smart waren, zo namen de twee zonen van Jakob, Simeon en Levi, broeders van Dina, een iegelijk zijn zwaard, en kwamen stoutelijk in de stad, en doodden al wat mannelijk was. 26Zij sloegen ook Hemor, en zijn zoon Sichem, dood met de scherpte des zwaards; en zij namen Dina uit Sichems huis, en gingen van daar. 27De zonen van Jakob kwamen over de verslagenen, en plunderden de stad, omdat zij hun zuster verontreinigd hadden. 28Hun schapen, en hun runderen, en hun ezelen, en hetgeen dat in de stad, en hetgeen dat in het veld was, namen zij. 29En al hun vermogen, en al hun kleine kinderen, en hun vrouwen, voerden zij gevankelijk weg, en plunderden denzelven, en al wat binnenshuis was. 30Toen zeide Jakob tot Simeon en tot Levi: Gij hebt mij beroerd, mits mij stinkende te maken onder de inwoners dezes lands, onder de Kanaanieten, en onder de Ferezieten; en ik ben weinig volks in getal; zo zij zich tegen mij verzamelen, zo zullen zij mij slaan, en ik zal verdelgd worden, ik en mijn huis. 31En zij zeiden: Zou hij dan met onze zuster als met een hoer doen?
